Olly C Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 When your out and about riding alone or with mates whats the part of riding that makes you really smile and feel happy about yourself? I find it really enjoyable to breeze up a nice wall to back wheel and just stick it perfect, now Im not the greatest at ups in general and its not really my favourate thing to do but it gives me the euphoric feeling and kinda makes me smile when I know Im trying a fairly large wall and yet make it perfect. Doing it first times always better but whenever still feels good >_< What parts of riding do you particulary like? Making a nice sidehop? Conquering a big drop gap? Controlling your bike over a nice slippery natrual section? Remember its not just what do you like about riding as in being with your mates and general riding its what bits of it really make you smile B) Let us know..

Lawnmowerman Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Nailing something for the first time >_< Theres some rocks outside some flats on blackpool prom and theres about 4 bike length gaps in a row. When i nailed them for the first time i was extatic :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCircus Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 For me, one of the most enjoyable things is just to speed about doing manuals. Pure bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 It's like someone has in their signature... a quote from ashton... "What do i love about trials... When someone gets a line perfect it's beautiful.." I think thats how it goes! But to me that sums up riding, when your out with your mates - when someone (doesn't even have to be you) hits that line or lands that trick it's brilliant! hence the spontaneous "YEAH!" >_< sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Make Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I like seek&ride sessions in nature. Finding some spots that no one has rode before and messing around with some friends and pulling lines that make others >_< ... Then we ride with our personal technique(sp) and try to do things with different way than others. Natural trials is for me the greatest pleasure on earth. Some times it isn't easy at all but if you keep on trying and then "clean" your section it is so rewarding! F@#¤in' winter! I want to do natural!

*OnzaMike* Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Learning something new, or doing something which i've been attempting for a while. Meeting new people also is a good part, and getting fit is always an added bonus >_<. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Nailing something gnarly first time.. One of those rides where you don't focus on actually getting better at something, only cruisin' around with friends in the nice weather and sticking something you've eyed up.

011001000110010101110010 Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Nailing something you have just thought of (be it a new line of combo) first time. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoojames Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 best thing for me is when you really want to do something and when you go for it you just barely make it so you really have to urge the bike ontop of something! That feeling of life or "death" is brilliant >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have just come back from riding.. Nailed a gap I've eyed up every day walking to school for a year now.. I finally managed to end up at the spot and do it. Took about 20 tries but managed to land it.. 6ft between wooden rails, not too shoddy. Feels great! >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Phaze Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Being on the bleeding edge of loosing control..... ......And not loosing it. *Just* making that gap...

TrashZen Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Being on the bleeding edge of loosing control..... ......And not loosing it.← That's what makes me burst in a nervous laugh or sheer joy... just feel so happy to stick to the balance, after I fought an invisible balance control for 2 seconds, and not fall off after all... It happens when climbing sideways, or landing sharp on a beam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I really like it when you make a trick that you'd previously not been able to do and you have been wanting to do it for weeks, thats an ace feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 I guess theres 3 things I really enjoy about going out riding, firstly just going out on a ride had having a good laugh and mess about with some friends. I also love feeling like I'm riding with flow, half the time the moves look small or are small but just that feeling when you dont fight the bike but just roll/curve/float with it. And finallyI really enjoy trying new different moves, things I think (hope) people havent tried, or lines people say "you cant do that". Example theres a double steped bench in Worcester when the step up from the first to second level is slightly sloped, I wondered if it would be possible to wall ride/wall tap the slope, and was told "nah, that wont happen" and I had a few goes, and it would go, it wasn't pretty but I did it. It just felt nice knowing I believed in me enough and it worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
